Cambridge Analytica reached out to Wikileaks for those Clinton emails only after they started working for the Trump campaign.

Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal:  

The chief executive of Cambridge Analytica contacted the founder of WikiLeaks to ask him to share Hillary Clinton -related emails at the same time that people familiar with the matter say the British data-analytics firm had begun working for President Donald Trump’s campaign. 

Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix said Thursday he asked the office that handles his speaking engagements to contact WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in “early June 2016,” after reading a newspaper report that WikiLeaks planned to publish a trove of Clinton-related emails. He said Mr. Assange was asked “if he might share that information with us.” 

“We received a message back from them that he didn’t want to and wasn’t able to, and that was the end of the story,” Mr. Nix said at the digital conference Web Summit in Lisbon. He called the exchange “very benign.” 

When Mr. Nix’s approach to WikiLeaks was reported by The Wall Street Journal last month, it wasn’t clear whether Cambridge was working for the Trump campaign at the time. Federal Election Commission records show the first payment by the campaign to Cambridge Analytica is dated July 29, 2016.

Okay so how many people working for the Trump campaign actively tried to get those nonexistent Clinton emails now?

Five?

Six?

All of them?

To be clear the Russians only gave Wikileaks emails from John Podesta, the DNC, and the Clinton campaign.

These proved to be largely innocuous.

They NEVER got a hold of any of the emails on Hillary's private server, which once again proves the intelligence on her part of using that in the first place.

    For the life of me, can't they just put this to rest? It's been over a year; focus on the MAGA rat bastard and his cronies that are destroying what was once a great nation.

    Republicans Are Working On The Bait-And-Switch Again

    ...There's one Republican Party that's extreme, paranoid, conspiracy-minded, amoral, and dedicated to the destruction of all opposition at any cost ... and then there's the "nice" GOP, which shows up on Sunday morning talk shows and in other mainstream news venues and acts like a party we can trust with the responsibilities of governing. The "nice" party pretends it keeps the other party at arms' length, but there is no other party -- they're one and the same. The "nice" Republicans know this. They let the crazies talk their crazy talk in the right-wing media because it builds the brand loyalty the "nice" Republicans need.

    ...
    Don't believe Republicans when they sound reasonable. They inevitably defer to those on their side who aren't. That's how we got our president.

    From a former thread:
    'Choose your leaders
    with wisdom and forethought.
    To be led by a coward
    is to be controlled
    by all that the coward fears.
    To be led by a fool
    is to be led
    by the opportunists
    who control the fool.
    To be led by a thief
    is to offer up
    your most precious treasures
    to be stolen.
    To be led by a liar
    is to ask
    to be lied to.
    To be led by a tyrant
    is to sell yourself
    and those you love
    into slavery.'

    Alabama right wingers are right: Roy Moore’s behavior is perfectly Biblical — and that’s the problem

    Moore boldly proclaims his allegiance to the Bible, citing verses at will. So, when he was accused recently of making unwanted sexual advances toward several young teens while a lawyer in his 30s, people accused him of hypocrisy. But if Moore’s only transgression was exploiting his greater age and status to seek sex or intimacy from teenagers, the accusation is unfair. His behavior was perfectly biblical.

    1. In the Bible, females are created for the benefit of males.
    2. In the Bible, female consent is not a thing.
    3. Rape in the Bible is a violation—not against a woman but against her male owner.
    4. In the Bible, young women are commonly given to older men.
    5. Christian tradition has long assumed that Mary was a young teen.
    6. The Quran and the Bible largely agree on a God-given male-dominated gender hierarchy in which men can negotiate bodily rights to pubescent and prepubescent girls.

    ...Roy Moore has made his choice. You can call him disgusting or vile or sexist, but don’t use the word hypocrite. Moore is living the script.

    "Suffice it to say the novel and the reputation of its author is such that fully six decades after it was written it still has the unerring ability to generate violent conflict and powerful emotions. Mention it in any conversation about government and/or military service and the sparks will fly."
    "Love it, hate it, it is a coming of age story and it endures as a lightning rod, as a jumping off point for exploration of the human condition, of government, of service, of duty, of war and conflict, of why we fight and
    why we should – or should not."

    "I heard the words of Robert Heinlein whispering in my head, honor, courage, duty, ethics, morality, service above self, willingness to give one’s life in the cause of something greater – even and perhaps most especially when the cost is unjust and immoral and terrible."

    "War is his profession and he embraces it willingly and without regret.
    And that, that right there, is the novel’s great sin."

    "somewhere in the intervening 50 years, the circle has come full around and now again it is not only okay to love those who do violence in our names, it is nearly mandatory."

    "I remember those who trained and led me. I remember those I served alongside. I remember those I trained and led myself. I remember those men and women, every one of them, the good and the bad, the faithful and the faithless, the leaders and the followers, the admirable and the shitheads, those who came before me and those who came after, those who still live and serve and fight out there every day in the dark and dangerous corners of the world, those who have hung up their swords, and most of all I remember those who have given the last full measure – I remember them, each and every single one, each and every single day.
    They are always with me, because they are the people who made me what I am."
    "There is no glory in war. It is a horrible, brutal business and make no mistake about it."

    "despised me for who I am, a veteran.

    And you know what? That, that right there, is the highest compliment I could be paid.
    That, that right there, is what we were doing out there in the dark and dangerous corners of the world, defending his right to hold us in utter contempt.

    I met a man who despised me.
    He called me and those like me
    fascist, murderer, dumb blunt tools.

    I can live with that.

    And I wear his contempt as a badge of honor."
